FAQs
What is the difference between ducted and recirculating installation?
Ducted installation vents cooking fumes and steam outside your home via ducting. Recirculating installation filters the air using grease and carbon filters to remove odors and moisture before returning it to the kitchen.
Do I need to buy carbon filters for recirculating installation?
Yes, if you choose to install the hood in recirculating mode, you will need to purchase and install carbon filters to effectively remove odors. These are typically sold separately.
How often should I clean the grease filters?
It is recommended to clean the metal grease filters every 1-4 weeks, depending on how frequently you cook. The hood may provide a reminder for filter cleaning.
What is the extraction rate of this hood?
This Siemens IQ-700 cooker hood has an extraction rate of 427 cubic meters per hour (m3/h).
Can I connect this hood to any brand of hob?
The 'Intelligent Hood Automatic' feature is designed to work specifically with compatible Siemens hobs. It will function as a standard hood with other brands.
How do I activate the delay shut-off mode?
The procedure for activating the delay shut-off mode can be found in the user manual for your specific model. Typically, it involves pressing a dedicated button after cooking.
Where can I find replacement filters?
Replacement grease filters and carbon filters can usually be purchased from authorized Siemens appliance retailers or directly from the Siemens parts website.
Troubleshooting
